Finally, and I think most important, copyright is not a "right". It's a grant from the public. We grant the creative (supposed to be) limited monopolies to, as the Founders put it, "encourage the useful arts and sciences". While copyrights and patents are allowed by the Constitution, they are not mandated.

You are really splitting hairs here.

No, just talking what the Constitution of the United States says. And if you're a USer (as I am), that's the ruling law so what it actually says kind of matters.
